Crunchy and salty with tender chicken inside. On alfredo it adds the contrast of the chicken alfredo with crispy chicken, a fan favorite build.
At 240 calories with 12 g of fat and 730 mg of sodium it costs about 110 more calories than grilled chicken.

“Worth the extra calories on alfredo, where the crunch survives the sauce. On marinara it goes soft fast, so eat it quickly.”
